On June 17, Kyiv and its surroundings were attacked by Russian troops at night with 175 drones, at least 14 cruise and 2 ballistic missiles. The UN Human Rights Monitoring Mission in Ukraine then reacted to Russia's attack on Kyiv, noting that it was likely one of the deadliest attacks in Kyiv in almost a year.

On the night of June 23, Russian troops once again massively attacked Kyiv. As a result of this Russian strike on a 5-story building in the capital, 9 people died, including one child. Another 13 residents were injured, including one child. Emergency workers rescued 10 people, including 2 children and a pregnant woman.
